As a former rare disease patient, I've become particularly drawn to the intersection of healthcare, society, and economics. Here's how I've explored these interests throughout high school, starting with economics olympiads and gradually moving into policy research, student-led initiatives, and hands-on hospital work.

I am particularly interested in how government programs and insurance systems cover treatment costs, and why certain expenses and patients may still lack adequate coverage.

Our work spans rural health screenings, patient research, educational initiatives, and rare-disease advocacy, extending into national policy discussions on healthcare access.
